NEW YORK AND TIE PRESIDENCY.
Tie Situation Conceded to lie Favorable
to the Republicans.

NC,r Yo,k sun Ont. Drm.j.
Unless some unforeseen cause of quar-
rel arises in the next year and a half, the
Republicans of this state are likely to
enter into the next national contest III
more good-natured and harmonious
spirit than has possessed them for many
years. In spite of the smarting of old
sores and the slight irritation of more
recent struggles, it may be said with
good deal OF trnth that the election of
Frank IIiscock to tho Senate has begun
an era Of good fee ling among the.Repub-
licans of the Empire State. We do not
say that the chasm between the Stsl
warts and the Half breeds has been filled
up, but the most implacabls of the latter
have enjoyed a full revenge and can
afford TO be in merciful temper. HIS
cock wears both the Red Rose and the
White in his buttonhole, and harmony
is the cry.
In 1855, then, We may expect that in
New York the Republicans will be more
united and consequently stronger than
they were in 1854. On the other hand
everything indicates AL increased Pro-
hIbIiion vote. But. III the event Of Mr..
Blame candidacy at least, the Republi-
cans will hope to much more than count
erbalance both the Prohibition and Mug
wump detection by gains from former
Dem ,cratic voters of Irish descent and
from Democratic losses to the Labor party
or directly to tue Republicans, provided
the Democratic candidate is not especially
| he | ,hn In VII
of the uncertainty added to necessarily
uncertain calculations by the possibilities
of the Labor movement, the Democratic
chances in New York for 1888 are much
more doubtful than they ought to be i'll
a state which was easily Democratic
fourteen months ago. 1t seems clear,
however, that the Republicans, IN actual
present strength and not uni ustltiable
expectations, are relatively better OFT than
they were in 1854 From various causes,
not the least OF which has been the half
way policy of the Administration, the
Democrats are not.
The problem for the Democrats is this:
Who is the man who can unite the Dem
ocrats of New York, couute"act the I'M
doubted attraction which Mr.. Blaine ex-
erts upon numerous and important ele-
msnts in the New York Democracy, and
hold tho Democratic Labor vote? 1t is
time to study this problem attentively.
Mr.. and Mrs. Coulston's Case Before the
Court.
Charles w. Coulston and his wife, Mary
Coulstou, were on Saturday morning taken
before Judge Reed, in Court of Common
Pleas, No. ), having been arrested on a
balpiece taken out by the bondsmen who
had given $500 security for them in a ca
pia. proceeding in that Court. This pro-
ceeding was a suit by Mrs. Martha Zeger
against the Coulstous for malicious prose-
cution. Mrs. Ziegler alleged that she was
arrested in April last at the instance of
Mrs. Coulston, who falsely charged her
with being professional brggir, and lad
her sent to the House of Correction"
| John Scollay, Esq, on Saturday repre-
scented the Collisions. He asked for the alb
solute discharge of Mrs. Coulstou, on the
| ground that she is married woman, and
that it is we'll >ettlsd law that in a civil pro-
Ceeding for tort married woman cannot
| he required to enter bail. As to the huS-
| band, he thought the $500 bail was eXc-s-
Tve, because il would be shown that Mrs.
| Coulstou, in causing the arrest of Mrs.
| ZIesler simply carried out the instructions
| of the Fourteenth Ward branch of the So
| cieiy for Organizing Charity, and as the
| husband was in no way concerned i'll the
arrest, he thought, under the circumstances,
common bail (fjO0) was enough
The judy dlscha ,ed Mrs. Couston and
reduced The bail of the husband to 500.
which was entered by the latter's father,
Jesse G. Cuulston.
Mrs. Coulston was arrested at t O'Clock
on Saturday morning by Detective Miller,
| i'll her room on the steamship P-nnlaud, at
Jersey City. She had bought ticket for
Antwerp, and would have sailed att o'cl'k.
that morning.
